3rd Dress

Jul 20, 2011 16:52

[Action; outside 836 Hastings Boulevard]

[Rarity's out for a trot around the neighborhood when she notices a package sitting on the front step of the Liebert household addressed to her.]

For me...? Whatever could this be?

[Blinking curiously, she gingerly bites at the string tying the package up and then meticulously opens it up with her hooves. She ( Read more... )

"Hello Rarity. Do you need some help?"

frilly_filly July 20 2011, 21:00:55 UTC

Oh, Ruri! I do hate to trouble you with this, but it seems the shopkeepers won't allow me inside.

hontobakabaka July 20 2011, 21:03:04 UTC

"Do you have a list of what you need?"

frilly_filly July 20 2011, 21:12:30 UTC

Yes, right here.

[Rarity's horn glows for a moment, and the paper and pencil float over to Ruri. The things on the list are crossed out, but still legible. It basically boils down to 'sewing supplies.']

[Guy spots Rarity and sprints over because gotta help!]

Do you assistance with that wagon, Lady Rarity?

frilly_filly July 20 2011, 21:20:31 UTC

Oh, Guy! No, I couldn't possibly trouble you with this.

mylife4food July 20 2011, 21:21:07 UTC

This is hardly any trouble at all! Plus, I do not happen to be doing anything else.

frilly_filly July 20 2011, 21:22:37 UTC

Well, if you insist.

[Still, she looks pretty happy about it anyway. A lady always refuses once, of course.]

[ Across the street, at 837 Hastings, there's a small blond girl with a popsicle idly watching this purple-haired pony. She didn't seem particularly interested, just bored with nothing else to focus on. It was the lethargy that marked her as anything other than a drone: after all, drone children played, laughed, and chatted aimlessly.

She wasn't going to let the fact that a purple-haired pony was living across the street surprise her-- she'd already met Applejack, and somebody of her age didn't express shock at seeing something they'd already seen once before.

That changed once Rarity opened her package and-- DID SHE JUST SUDDENLY GROW A HORN!?

Yeah, mouth opens, popsicle drops to the ground forgotten. ]

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?!?!

1/2 frilly_filly July 20 2011, 21:47:48 UTC

[Which, in turn, causes Rarity to yell out in surprise. After all, she wasn't really paying attention to anyone watching her.]

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

2/2 frilly_filly July 20 2011, 21:48:55 UTC

[But then she looks and sees it's just one of the neighbor girls. Taking a deep breath, Rarity sighs and shakes her head in mild exasperation.]

You startled me!

darkevangel July 20 2011, 22:07:00 UTC

You just--

[ SHE IS POINTING AT RARITY ]

You just sprung a horn!

[Pinkie, with a very familiar little alligator perched on her back and barely clinging onto her mane, is hopping down the street cheerfully. When she spots Rarity being shooed out of a store, she bounces on over.]

Ooh, Rarity. You okay?

Re: late afternoon frilly_filly July 21 2011, 21:16:05 UTC

Somepony needs to teach these drones some proper manners!

partysense July 24 2011, 00:17:35 UTC

Huh? Were they mean to you?

frilly_filly July 24 2011, 05:03:07 UTC

They think I'm someone's housepet and won't let me into any of the stores to buy the supplies I need to set up shop here in Mayfield.

[action; late afternoon] downtoearthpony July 22 2011, 22:04:20 UTC

[Applejack is trotting around town when she notices Rarity with a wagon being shooed out of one of the stores with a look of frustration on her face. She hurries to catch up to her friend.]

Well heya, Rarity! Drones giving you a tough time?

frilly_filly July 23 2011, 16:20:10 UTC

[Rarity heaves a long, overdramatic sigh.]

You could say that, yes.

downtoearthpony July 23 2011, 17:35:38 UTC

Yeah, it sure can be annoying, but it's not their fault the town made them like that, so there's really nothing we can do.

Well, 'cept maybe asking a hue-min friend to go in for us, or try a shop that isn't run by a drone...

What are you looking for anyways?

[Applejack glances at the shop to notice that it's a fabric store.]

Oh, you're planning on making some dresses? Wouldn't that be hard to do without your-

[Applejack stops short because she finally looked back at the white unicorn and noticed something there that was missing since they first arrived in Mayfield.]

Oh Rarity! You got your horn back! That's great! But how in the hay did that happen?

frilly_filly July 23 2011, 17:43:57 UTC

I'm not sure myself. There was a package addressed to me at home, and when I opened it, there was a picture of my horn inside. I picked it up to have a closer look, and as soon as I touched it, my horn was right back where it's always been!

Not that I'm complaining, of course.
